(Poker Strategy Hint: If you're stuck - Pick "C")

As poker players, we are naturally an inquisitive group. Indeed, any thinking poker player who is actively trying to play as well as he or she can is constantly seeking answers to questions about the players sitting around the table and the meaning of their actions.

If you think about it, every time you sit down to play poker, you are �� in a way �� willingly subjecting yourself to yet another kind of test or poker strategy quiz. It��s one you��re ready for, of course, with your previous experience and study all being part of the preparation you��ve brought to this new exam. But you don��t know exactly what the questions are going to be in advance, which is why the game can be so challenging �� and interesting, too.

In that spirit, here��s another installment of ��The Weekly PokerNews Poker Strategy Quiz�� for you to tackle, with 10 multiple-choice questions derived from the previous week��s worth of articles appearing in the Strategy section here at PokerNews.

Get seven out of the 10 questions correct and you earn a passing grade, and for any incorrect answers you��ll get an explanation regarding the correct choice. This is an ��open book�� exam, by the way, meaning you can feel free to check back through the week��s articles if needed to find the correct answers.

Everyone seated and ready? Okay... begin.
